Which of the following is associated to Schizophrenia ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. One of its hallmark symptoms is hallucinations, which are sensory experiences that appear real but are created by the mind (most commonly hearing voices).

  • Option A: It is a common myth that schizophrenia involves multiple personalities; that condition is actually called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
  • Option B: While schizophrenia involves brain structure changes, it is primarily classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder rather than a classic neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's.
  • Option C: Schizophrenia is heavily influenced by environmental factors, including prenatal exposure to viruses, malnutrition, and psychosocial stressors, alongside genetic predisposition.
